Some state lawmakers want to pass a legislative alternative to the May ballot proposal to boost road funding.
The Michigan Public Radio Network’s Jake Neher reports.
The idea is to have a backup plan in place that would only take effect if voters reject the plan to raise the sales tax from six percent to seven percent.
Republican state Representative Anthony Forlini says voters should know their options before they go to the polls in May.
“That alternative should be in place, I believe before May 5th,” he says.
Other lawmakers say reaching a deal on another road funding plan in the next few months is unrealistic.
